## What is Booble Premium (petanque)?

The Booble app allows you to automatically measure the distance between the boules and the jack during a pétanque game.
Its interface is extremely simple and intuitive:
 1.  The picture is taken automatically using the embedded bubble level.
 2.  One only has to touch the boules and the jack on the screen and the application will automatically – through advanced visual recognition algorithms used in the industry - locate them.
 3.  The ranking order appears in real-time.
 4.  If necessary, manual adjustments are possible: the boules rankings will then automatically and dynamically adjust.
A zoom mode allows the user to validate the measurements' accuracy.
The app allows up to 6 boules to be simultaneously measured.
Booble is available in French, English, Spanish and Deutsch.

## Key features

- Automatic distance measurement

### 4/5 — Pas satisfait

*2025-07-15*

Trop compliqué de l’utiliser et trop long pour les résultats

### 5/5 — Good but slow

*2024-12-06*

A really useful app for getting accurate results, but it is so slow. The blurb talks about automatically measuring. If only it did, it would transform it into a brilliant app. The app already recognises the boule, so why can’t it automatically measure up to the edge?

### 4/5 — Much better than a tape, but not automatic

*2024-08-19*

My Petanque friends now love this, although I’m now called for every measurement : ). I give it four stars because only the camera is automatic. It does not automatically locate and measure the boules as the description suggests. You have to scale the jack and then measure each boule manually. If it measured all surrounding boules automatically it would deserve 6 stars if I could. Maybe an app update will fully automate the measurements.

### 5/5 — Great but…

*2024-02-16*

Sometimes it opens the screen side camera.  
Frustrating. Otherwise great

### 5/5 — Super application 👍

*2023-07-17*

Adieu les mesures incertaines au raz du sol avec le risque de bouger boules et cochonnet !
Un vrai plaisir à utiliser 😀.
Même mon beau père de 93 ans est « presque » conquis et accepte le résultat sans me sortir son mètre d’un autre siècle !
Bravo pour ce beau développement !

**Developer response:** En voilà des éloges qui nous procurent un immense plaisir et booste notre motivation ! Merci merci merci 🙏🙏🙏 - bel été avec notre app ! BOOBLE Team.

### 4/5 — Amélioration possible ?

*2023-06-20*

Merci pour cette application simple et pratique. Ne pourriez-vous pas y ajouter un volet supplémentaire pour gérer également les points pour des parties de 2 ou 3 équipes de 2 à 3 joueurs maxi en mode loisirs ?  D’avance merci de votre retour.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis - nous hésitons à faire évoluer Booble car les contraintes de mise en conformité imposées soit par la réglementation (RGPD - protection des données personnelles) soit par APPLE (restriction sur le suivi d'activité permettant l'affichage de publicité personnalisée - ce qui implique moins de revenus) deviennent financièrement impossibles à assumer pour la petite structure que nous sommes. Croyez-bien que nous en sommes les premiers désolés. BOOBLE Team.

### 5/5 — Très précise et bonne pour le dos

*2023-06-07*

Yes 👍 à partir d’un certain âge, on a du mal à se baisser et puis alors là pour mesurer on a plus besoin de s’accroupir 🤣🤣
c’est super top. 
Bravo aux développeurs👏👏👏

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre avis : sa lecture nous fait un bien fou 💪💪💪 ! Bel été avec notre app. BOOBLE Team

### 5/5 — Wirklich praktische tolle App

*2023-01-26*

Es geht sicherlich nicht unbedingt viel schneller als mit Maßband, aber mindestens genauso schnell. Außerdem wird verhindert das Kugeln verschoben werden. Wir haben auch schon mehrfach die Genauigkeit überprüft. Es stimmt.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung – sie steigert unsere Motivation ! BOOBLE Team

### 5/5 — K-kehler

*2022-04-03*

Amazing! Love it!

**Developer response:** Great review ! Love it! 😉 BOOBLE Team

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2022-03-22, version 2.8*

Everyone loves watching while I measure boules with  this app. I found it to be easy to use, and accurate, which in my mind are the most important qualities.

Your favorite app is now compliant with iPhones 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max and 12 mini.
And we took the opportunity to add some new features :
- possibility to activate the torch during the image capture.
- from now on, when distances are expressed in centimeters (or inches according to country), the measures are "edge to edge" (i.e.: from the edge of the jack to the edge of the bowl as stipulated in the FFPJP official rules).
- … and finally, it is now possible to choose another bubble level with a more classic design (available in the settings menu).
... without forgetting some small bugs fixed !
